A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Life! 
O, beautiful life
You are my hearts desire
All of my experiences and dreams 
Are realized 
Because of you, O, beautiful life 

You allow me to see 
This ever changing world 
Daily unfolding before my eyes 
Species of birds and animals alike 
And creatures from the watery world 

The beauty of a sunrise 
As the morning awakes
Or a robust sunset at the end of the day 
The colors of a rainbow painted in the sky 
Because of you, O, beautiful life 
They take my breath away 

But with all you give, O, beautiful life 
Sometimes I feel abandoned and afraid 
Afraid of you leaving me in the midnight hour 
Silencing my thoughts and my days

Yet when the darkness fades
And the morning comes 
In your arms, O, beautiful life
I'm embraced..
 
Life! 
O, beautiful life.

Wilford Barker.

Sir Tony..
I am not sure I did justice to the essence of life.. it's a subject I would have to revisit some other time.. But I would love to read your approach on the subject..
Thanks my faithful friend. 
Hugs from Newark NJ.
